The same situation here. I am still use Win XP (on my desktop) and at times Win 7 (on my Laptop). I don't have access to Win8 it would be very hard to ask my client to allow me to experiment on their system.

Hello, I have a need to develop a software that will ultimately run on Windows 8 so I would like to know if anyone has tried to use AutoIT in Win8? Will sending of key strokes work properly in Win8? I don't have Win8 but the client is upgrading from Win7 to Win8 so this question? TIA Yogi Yang

There is a web based software that is developed in .NET and it is using silverlight. It shows data in a grid in SilverLight. Now I need to read certain cells in this grid. I tried to gather info using Au3Info but it just returns SilverLight as class name and I cannot get information of any items inside displayed grid. How can we extract information from inside a SliverLight grid displayed in a browser? Regards, Yogi Yang

Thanks for the link. I am basically trying to use AutoITX.dll from VB to send a few UNICODE characters to MS Word. I have tried with Send as well as ControlSend but both are not working. As per documentation if we want to send UNICODE characters to a Unicode enabled application we should use ASC function: Lastly how can I put UNICODE characters on clipboard?

Thanks for this

Can someone please help me on this.

I am trying to send the following string to MS Word 2003 : "{ENTER}--- {ASC 2693} --- {ASC 0xA95} --- {ENTER}" It is showing square blocks instead of Unicode characters. If I add these characters using Insert->Symbol in MS Word these characters are showing perfectly without any problems. What must be the problem? Thanks, Yogi Yang

I installed AutoIt V3.2.10.0 but can't find the file AutoItDLL.dll anywhere in the installed folder. Has this file been discontinued? Have we to live with the AutoItX3.dll? I want to use AutoIT from Delphi and would not like to add an ActiveX to my project as I don't want to enter into any hassel while deploying my software to clients who do not have Administrative Rights. I am using Version 1.11 of AutoItDLL.dll currently.

Hello, I am trying to implement a keyboard mapper. In this I want to allow the user to map each key on the keyboar to type a particular character (one or more). Say for example a user set the A key on the keyboard to type t. I have managed to implement a system wide keyboard hook (iplemented in a separate DLL compiled in LCC 'C') for trapping the keys globally. I am stuck at one place. I want to implement feature by which the user key typed by user is compared to last 4 inserted characters and based on that it decides as to that should be typed. For example a user types a then he types e now if the user types ' (single quot) both the characters a and e will get deleted and the character æ will get typed in it's place. For implementing such a think I am currently using Select...Case (nesting as necessary) but the listing seems to get very long. So debugging seems to become a tedious task. Is there any better way of doing this? Thanks,

I just found out that AutoHotKey which is a hybrid of AutoIT can send UNICODE characters to any target application on any 32Bit Windows OS then why can't AutoIt do that?

I feel we cannot use AutoIT for sending Unicode text so we should use KbdEvents API for sending text to a target application.... These are my views...... If any one has got any other viewes or ideas then plz. share it with us.

if you really want to find out as to what functions are in the DLL then use Dump2Lib utility whihc used to come with VC 4 and 5. You will surely find one on protools.com site.

Sending characters through Clipboard is not a professional way. I was searching for a more efficient way for sending UNICODE characters to target UNICODE enabled application. I am seening that no one is really answering this question This means that AutoIt does not support UNICODE characters or this topic is very complicated and nobody wants to touch it or discuss it.

I am also facing the same problem. I want to send Indic Characters to target app which is an Softwre written in VB and uses FM20.dll controls. If anyone has got any ideas plz. help me.

Thanks for the Advise. I will try and see if it works as u have suggested.
